Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is returning from a bye in Week 5 for an AFC North showdown against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Cleveland has been tough on opposing quarterbacks, holding the position to the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game. However, with the Browns even more dominant against the run, Pittsburgh may be forced to lean on Rodgers and the air attack despite Jaylen Warren's return. Though receiver Calvin Austin III (shoulder) has been ruled out, Rodgers could find success with his favorite target, DK Metcalf, after the two displayed strong chemistry in Week 4. Still, this contest is expected to be a low-scoring defensive battle, keeping Rodgers in the low-end QB2 range in superflex leagues.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave recorded a team-high seven receptions on 11 targets in the Week 5 win over the Giants, turning them into 59 yards, a surprising season high. He has only found the end zone once through five contests, but his target volume keeps him involved. Olave faces a Patriots defense that allows 242.2 passing yards per game, ranking 26th in the league. Starting Patriots' cornerback Christian Gonzalez is questionable, and if he sits, Olave has a clear path to a heavy workload. He ranks as a WR2 with upside in Week 6.
